lo of which the following is a speeiicationrrer @reno-e being had to the accompanying dran*- ing.

burners, and to means for treating the llames 15 therefrom.

lt is an object ot invention, among others. to provide novel, yet practical and simple means for treating the Haines resulting from the burner pipe, whereby to prevent the enst- 26 ing oi of obnoxious odors and products.

To reduce the invention to p aotiee suitable rforms and arrangements of mechanism may he employed, so long the essence of invention is maintained, and to one ot such arrangements, this specification will refer.

n the drawings, forming apart of the speciication, Figure l is an elevation view, partly in section, of a stove with the inven- 30 tion applied. Fig. 2 is a plan vienT of the air-shaft, vaporizer,` defectors, and the drip pan. Fig. 3 is an elevation view of a trough. Fie. 4 is a perspective view or an air-sh-at and means associated therewith for treating the flame from the burner pipe.

ln said views, similar parts are to he referred to by similar characters' of reference. rllhe drip-pan 5 is provided with one or more air-shafts 6., and the upper ends ot these are disposed above the bottom ofthe drip pan. Suitable closures are provided for said air-shafts 6, and they` are shown hinged closures associated With the bottoni V of the drip pan and are provided with 5 notches 7 to receive therein the respective turn-buttons 70 attached to the bottom of the drip-pan.

Suit-ably supported by the casing forming the air shafts 6, and perhaps, prererahlv 1n- 59 recesses 8., are troughs 9 the opposite ends ot which overhang a trough 10, so that the said troughs may not only discharge into the trough 10, but provide a substantially oontinuous trough, in order that only a small 55 amount of fuel may escape therefrom onto Specification of ietters latent.

Hydrocarbon oil burners have an ohjeetion in thet the)1 emit, as a rele. obnolrioes products. such. for instance, soot. present invention provides for em i for this inatter. ln suitable assocA yion with the air shafts 6 there are provided vets to reef-fre Water. f lhese vate are designated ov Q are shown as being attached to t". e air shai They may however he roede integral with the air shafts. The Water in these vats is heated by the `flame coming from the burner pipe, and the vapor arising from the heated water is sullicient to treat the llame to prevent the throwing oll' of the objectionable products. Aside from allowing the troughs lOor 13 to catch the oil, the said trough may be used to pre-heat the burner pipe by causing the oil caught therein to be ignited under the burner, thereby placing the burner ready to gasify the incoming oil.

Having thus described this invention, We

I claim.

l. A hydrocarbon oil burner comprising a burner-pipe, air shafts therefor, a trough extending across each shaft, a second trough beneath the first named troughs and into which they empty, a drip pan under the burner pipe and troughs, means to vaporizc the fuel, vand Water vats in proximity of the burner-pipe for treating the flame.

2. A hydrocarbon oil burner comprising a burner pipe, air shafts therefor, a vaporizer, deflectors, a depressed receptacle running beneath the burner pipe, and a drip pan beneath said receptacle.

3.A hydrocarbon oil burner, comprising a burner pipe, air shaftstherefor, a vaporizer, deflectors, a depressed receptacle running through the device and under the burner'pipe, a drip pan beneath said receptacle, and a vat. secured to each air-shaft for holding water to be heated by the flame from theburner-pipe so that said heated Water) may vaporize the flame. t
